PASADENA, TX, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2025  — The future of construction is unfolding at the 2025 Texas Innovation Tour, an industry-leading event showcasing advancements in 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP). From March 17 to March 28, 2025, in Pasadena, TX, attendees will witness firsthand the groundbreaking capabilities of robotic 3D printing technologies and how they are reshaping construction practices.

Hosted by the Houston Gulf Coast Building and Trades Council and powered by Young Industries, in collaboration with several partners, including the Pasadena Fire Marshal’s office, PVFD, Gulf Coast Workforce Solutions, OPCMIA, RIC Robotics, Alquist 3D, Geopolymer International, and SKAPA, PLLC, the tour promises to offer an in-depth, hands-on experience for construction professionals looking to integrate 3DCP into their projects. The event will feature demonstrations of robotic systems at work and culminate in a live fire-resistance test of a 3D-printed concrete wall, proving the technology’s potential in enhancing fire safety for modern buildings.

Transforming Construction with Robotic 3D Printing

The Texas Innovation Tour is designed to educate architects, engineers, contractors, and union members on how robotic 3D printing can solve a variety of industry challenges. These include addressing labor shortages, reducing costs, creating fire-resistant structures, and enabling the use of more sustainable building materials. Following last year’s successful tour in Seattle, where over 300 industry partners participated, this event aims to continue raising awareness and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with 3D printing in construction.

‍What to Expect at the Texas Innovation Tour

March 17 to March 27

• Attendees will be able to book Q&A sessions with experts, participate in industry-specific workshops, and watch as RIC Robotics’ advanced robotic system 3D prints a concrete structure.
• Various workshops will offer insight into how 3D printing technology can be integrated into different aspects of construction, providing attendees with the knowledge and skills necessary to incorporate it into their work.

March 28

• The event will feature an educational session that includes contributions from equipment providers, material manufacturers, workforce trainers, designers, engineers, and legislators.
• A gallery presentation will showcase the concrete structure built during the workshops.
• The day will conclude with the highly anticipated BBQ Burn Bash from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, where the Pasadena Fire Marshal’s office and Fire Department will oversee a live fire-resistance test of a 3D-printed concrete wall. This test will emphasize the fire-resistant qualities of 3D-printed concrete structures, highlighting their role in building safer, disaster-resistant communities. Free food and entertainment will be available to all attendees during the event.

Industry Leaders Speak Out

"3D printing is no longer an experimental concept—it’s transforming the construction industry by making building faster, safer, and more cost-effective," said Ziyou Xu, founder of RIC Robotics. "We want to bring industry partners together to stay at the forefront of innovation because meaningful progress only happens when the entire industry advances together."

The Texas Innovation Tour is an important milestone in the ongoing evolution of construction, marking a significant step toward integrating 3D printing technology into mainstream building practices. As demand grows for faster, more resilient, and sustainable construction methods, this event provides a vital platform for industry professionals to explore the potential of 3DCP and embrace the technology’s role in the future of construction.
